However, it is not impossible to arrange another drama at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
At that time, not only the officials will be watching, but also many royal nobles. If she can get a compliment from the emperor, then she will be completely popular. It will also be of great benefit to her script, and she will continue to arrange dramas in the future. I plan to come and warm up just in time.
But she couldn't agree so easily, she had to ask for some interest.
"The play can be performed, but do we have to calculate the cost?"
He supported the troupe in the palace, and she was working for free.
Jun Ce also knew not to push her into a hurry, so this time it was easier to talk: "How much do you want?"
This time, Shen Shenyan was careful not to ask first: "How much do you want to give?" She had to be more cautious, what if it was less? She had already thought about it. No matter how much he asked, she would keep it on the original basis. Add half more on top.
"A thousand taels of silver?" Jun Ce looked at Shen Shenyan and said tentatively. She had always loved money. Is a thousand taels too little?
Shen Shenyan's eyes widened. A thousand taels of silver? Calculated based on the price, in the original world it would be about a hundred thousand?
"one thousand……"
"Three thousand taels, do you want to do it?"
Seeing Shen Siyan's surprised expression, Jun Ce thought it was because he was short of money, so he hurriedly added another two thousand taels before Shen Siyan could speak.
He had already annoyed her once, and he must not do it again this time.
After these few days of getting along with each other, he also discovered that investing money is the way to invest money.
Shen Shenyan's eyes widened even more, three thousand taels...three hundred thousand!
Shen Shenyan swallowed uncontrollably. Fortunately, fortunately, she didn't speak first.
She originally only wanted eight hundred taels of silver, but after all, she was too small.
but……
"Four thousand five hundred taels." Half means half and cannot be refunded, although the price he offered was far beyond her expectation.
One thousand taels of silver? What is the concept? You must know that the story book she worked so hard to write has only earned more than 600 taels of silver so far, plus the sales in branch stores.
Although this amount of money is indeed nothing compared to Yunque Tower and Listening Bamboo Garden, it is the money she earned after coming here, so the meaning is naturally different.
Jun Ce frowned slightly and glanced at her: "Did you know that these three thousand taels can buy a shop?"
Four thousand five hundred taels, she has a really big appetite.
What's more, if she really arranged a drama at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the benefits to her would be more than just three thousand taels of silver.
She loves money. Seeing that the play she put on in his palace was so popular with the people in his palace, she was bound to go outside and continue to put on the show.
Did she think that he really asked her to perform the play she had arranged at the birthday banquet because he wanted to give the Queen Mother a birthday gift?
Shen Shenyan really didn't think about it that much. In her opinion, Jun Ce just wanted to embarrass her.
Then I accidentally placed an advertisement for her.
So I frowned after hearing what Jun Ce said. Is a shop worth a lot of money? Is this person telling a person who was born into the richest family that buying a shop is expensive?
Did she never say that Yunque Tower’s monthly income was tens of thousands of taels?
Shen Shenyan pursed her lips and asked a question she was very concerned about: "Are you poor?"
He is a dignified prince and has two opera troupes, so he cannot be poor.
Jun Ce: "..."
"Okay, four thousand five hundred taels." Jun Ce said, suppressing the blood welling up in his heart.
He is not poor, he just wants to compare with others. The only person in the world who can compare with the money of the Shen family is the national treasury.
How could he forget that she is the eldest lady of the Shen family, how can she value her with just a few thousand taels of silver? It seems that she will pursue a different hobby in the future.
Shen Shenyan was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he wanted to blackmail him, but he succeeded?
Then she looked at him with sympathy. She didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to get just a few thousand taels of silver. Should she... comfort him?
It was impossible to spit it out. She had saved him several times. The prince's life was worth this price.
"What? Not satisfied?" Jun Ce looked at Shen Shenyan's expression and thought she was not satisfied, so he said coldly.
When he asked this question, he was also beating a drum in his heart. If he gave away money like this, his palace would be emptied of money within a few times.
Shen Shenyan immediately shook his head: "No, I am very satisfied, very satisfied."
Money, money in vain, she is so rich, rich people even envy themselves.
"Your Majesty, we will arrange it as you say. If we have this kind of errand in the future, we will be there at your call."
What integrity and face? Is this important? It’s not important at all.
But in the end she emphasized to him: "But you must let me leave after celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday."
She still had something to settle with Shen Siyue.
Junce nodded: "Of course."
After Shen Shenyan returned home, she began to think about the drama.
Regarding that drama, half an hour is already the limit of compression, but on the Queen Mother’s birthday, it must not be so long.
It is best to control the time within half an hour, and it is outdoors. There is no microphone here like modern times. If you are far away, you will definitely not be able to hear clearly, and the performance effect will be greatly reduced, so it is best to convert words into actions as much as possible.
The length of the play can only be shortened in terms of progress, and even the front part needs to be drastically changed. It can no longer start from the first meeting between Diao Chan and Lu Bu, but must start from when Diao Chan is presented to Dong Zhuo.
The previous part can be completed by one person dictating, but the position of this person is extremely important, and it needs to be ensured that everyone can hear it.
Shen Shenyan sighed. It seemed that major changes were needed. The layout of the drama was also a very important task. It should be simple but not crude.
Shen Shenyan locked himself in a room for a day and a night, and deleted many scenes. The actors remained the same, and the cast remained the same, so the process would be faster.
And in order to ensure that they can remember these words in just a few days, she tried to keep the original words as unchanged as possible.
This is a very important stepping stone, and she must step on it firmly.
Finally, the complete script was released, starting from Diao Chan being presented to Dong Zhuo, to Diao Chan secretly meeting Lu Bu, and finally Cao Cao defeating Wang Yun and beheading Diao Chan. It only took half an hour to complete.
…
On the Empress Dowager's birthday, not only the court officials came, but the Shen family, as the richest man in the world and at the feet of the emperor, would definitely come to the palace, and the gifts they gave could not be lower than those of the officials in the imperial court, nor higher than those of the princes. The prince’s face.
It's just that when entering the palace this time, Shen Huaiyuan may bring Shen Siyue with him. After all, Shen Shen Yue has already reached the age of hair this year. When it comes to the age of marriage, most people have already said marriage at the age of thirteen or four. The reason why Shen Shen Yue has not made an appointment yet is, It's just that Shen Huaiyuan hasn't found a suitable candidate yet. Since he gave the ginseng to the prince and got close to the prince on weekdays, it means that he wants his daughter to marry the prince.
